Title: BlockTrades adds more trading pairs for LiteCoin and BTC
Post by: dannotestein on August 21, 2015, 07:50:21 pm
We now have enough LTC in our accounts to start accepting limited amounts of BTC, BTS, BitBTC, BitCNY, and BitUSD for Litecoin. We've also added a pair for buying BTC with LTC.

Nice.

Btw, when is Blocktrades' gui going to be updated? Are you going to use the new webwallet as a frontend?

We completed the first update of the GUI sometime back, but still haven't rolled it out as it's mainly "invisible" to users (it was done mainly to ease long term development of the GUI and to speed rendering of web pages) and has been deemed lower priority than other changes we're making. Our volume has been growing quite rapidly, so at the moment we're focusing a lot on adding new coin pairs, making sure we handle the volume well, and adding more security features such as increased automation of cold wallet management.

It's very possible that we will add the webwallet as a frontend to the decentralized exchange, since this would allow us to diversify our offerings to customers, but that's a decision for later on.

Will BlockTrades be among the first to convert to the Graphene backend? Will BlockTrade leverage it's community relationship to the technological benefit of the exchange?

We added support for the graphene client a while back to help verify that it had the features required for gateway support.
